Bible Tic-Tac-Toe
Harvest Festival Evangelism
Even There Devotional

For Two Players or Two Teams. 

Write questions from your lesson or use Bible trivia questions or our Bible Stack-O! cards. 

Divide the class into two teams: "X's" and "O's." Draw a large Tic-Tac-Toe grid on the board and number the squares 1-9. Players or teams take turns answering the questions called out by the teacher. Players may confer with their teammates to give an answer. If a correct answer is given, that player or team scores an "X" or "O" in one of the numbered positions of their own choosing on the grid. If a player or team is unable to answer a question, the opposing team may have an opportunity to answer it and score an "X" or "O." If no one is able to answer the question, the grid space remains blank and play continues as before. 

First player or team to get three in a row wins!

Even There
Finding God in the Places I Never Wanted to Go

Some places in life we choose. Others we would give anything to escape.

My new book, Even There, is a short, true testimony of how the words of Psalm 139 have intersected with my life again and again--from a lonely childhood to a life-threatening diagnosis, overwhelming anxiety, devastating loss, and years of caring for my severely disabled husband.

This isn't a story of a trouble-free faith. It's for anyone who has suffered, questioned, waited, or wondered where God is when life doesn't turn out the way they anticipated.

My hope is that as you read my story, you'll be encouraged to look at Psalm 139 again and consider how its words intersect with your story too.

There is nowhere suffering can take us where God is not already there.

Even There: Finding God in the Places I Never Wanted to Go
